Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am looking for materials that will help reinforce environmental vocabulary, sharing, turn-taking, and general language skills.

My goals for this project are to have my students name parts of a home, use functional language including nouns and verbs to describe their environment, and finally improve social skills including turn-taking and sharing.

I work with early childhood special education students who are intellectually disabled. They are all sweet and kind children. My students are eager to learn. They love to play, and these materials are a great way to help them learn.
